Beer in bread really. Friend at work brought something called beer bread into work. Very sweet, very tasty, very addictive. I want some more now, but he won’t yield it. So I am forced into finding out how to making it myself.
I found a good recipie, or one I think is good. (I have not tried it yet): For those interested, it is here.
What I am wondering is if any connoisseurs of this tasty pastry has any suggestions on the best type of beer to use.
This bread will wreak havoc on my Low Carb diet… (eating habit, rather than trying to lose weight) It is just so good, I will have to cheat once in awhile on it.
But I do have a pretty good and easy to make recipe for a beer based bread:
(from Brew Cuisine: Cooking with Beer)
Quick Onion Cheese Bread
3 cup all purpose Flour
1 TBS Baking Powder
3 TBS Sugar
1 cup grated Old Cheddar Cheese
4 Green Onions
1½ cups Beer (I use a Brown Ale)
1 Egg, beaten
1 TSP Sesame Seeds
1 TSP Salt
½ TSP Pepper
Combine Flour, Baking Powder, Sugar, Cheese and Green Onions, Salt and Pepper.
Stir Beer in gently to form a thick, sticky batter.
Pour batter into greased loaf pan, 8½" x 4½" (1.5L).
Brush top of loaf with beaten Egg and sprinkle with Sesame Seeds.
Bake in oven at 350°F (180°C) for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until loaf browns.
Remove from oven rack and cool on a wire rack.
Enjoy with a delicious pint of your favorite ale or lager.
